mcp-server-stdio 0.1.1

MCP Server for Claude / Stdio transport

Billing Service MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes billing information from your StackBill API.

Setup

Prerequisites

• Python 3.14+
• uv package manager (or pip)

Installation

# Install dependencies
uv pip install -r requirements.txt

Or if using pip directly:

pip install fastmcp httpx

Running the Server (stdio transport)

This project now runs as an MCP stdio server (MCP messages over stdin/stdout). Start the server with:

python -m app.main

The server communicates over standard input/output and is intended to be launched by an MCP-capable client (for example, a desktop assistant or a tool runner that spawns the process and talks MCP over stdio). If you previously used mcp-inspector or other HTTP-based tools, note that those expect an HTTP endpoint; for stdio you should configure your MCP client to execute the command above.

For Claude Desktop or a similar client that accepts a command, use the configuration example in the "Configuration" section below to point the client at this process.

4. Query Billing Information

In the mcp-inspector interface, call the get_billing_summary tool with your parameters:

Example 1: Get current month billing

{
  "domain_uuid": "4ca-d-823",
  "zone_uuid": "e5b0-50b-ff-8e2-f2817"
}

Example 2: Get billing for specific date range

{
  "domain_uuid": "4ca-d-823",
  "zone_uuid": "e5b0-50b-ff-8e2-f2817",
  "from_date": "03-11-2025 00:00",
  "to_date": "20-11-2025 00:00",
  "lang": "en"
}

Tool Reference

get_billing_summary

Fetch billing summary for a specified date range.

Parameters:

• domain_uuid (required): Your domain UUID (e.g., "4ca-d-823")
• zone_uuid (required): Your zone UUID (e.g., "e5b0-50b-ff-8e2-f2817")
• from_date (optional): Start date in format DD-MM-YYYY HH:MM. Defaults to 1st of current month
• to_date (optional): End date in format DD-MM-YYYY HH:MM. Defaults to today
• lang (optional): Language code (default: "en")
• auth_token (optional): Bearer token or API key for authentication. Can be raw token or "Bearer "

Returns:

{
  "status": "success",
  "data": { /* billing data from API */ },
  "date_range": {
    "from": "03-11-2025 00:00",
    "to": "20-11-2025 00:00"
  }
}

get_usage_cost_details

Fetch usage cost details for a specific zone.

Parameters:

• zone_id (required): Zone ID (e.g., "1")
• lang (optional): Language code (default: "en")
• auth_token (optional): Bearer token or API key for authentication. Can be raw token or "Bearer "

Returns:

{
  "status": "success",
  "data": { /* usage cost details from API */ },
  "zone_id": "1"
}

Example in mcp-inspector:

{
  "zone_id": "1",
  "lang": "en",
  "auth_token": "your-api-token-here"
}

How It Works

1. You ask via mcp-inspector: "What is my billing for this month?"
2. mcp-inspector calls: get_billing_summary() with your domain and zone UUIDs
3. The tool:
   • Sets default date range to current month if not specified
   • Constructs the API request to: http://demo.example.com/apidocs/api/usage/offeringusagereport/summaryreport
   • Passes parameters: fromDate, toDate, domainUuid, zoneUuid, type, lang
   • Returns the billing summary response

Integration with Claude/Other AI Assistants

Once this MCP server is configured in your AI assistant (Claude, etc.), you can ask questions like:

• "What is my billing for this month?"
• "Show me the usage charges from Nov 3 to Nov 20, 2025"
• "What's my current bill for domain 4ca-d-823?"
• "What are the usage cost details for zone 1?"
• "Show me the cost breakdown for my zones"

The assistant will automatically use this MCP tool to fetch the data.

Configuration

To configure this with Claude Desktop, add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "billing": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["/path/to/main.py"]
    }
  }
}

Error Handling

The tool returns a structured response:

• Success: Returns billing data with status "success"
• Error: Returns error details with status "error"

401 Unauthorized Error

If you receive a 401 error, the API requires authentication. Use the auth_token parameter:

{
  "zone_id": "1",
  "auth_token": "your-api-token"
}

The token will be sent as a Bearer token in the Authorization header. You can provide:

• Just the token: "your-token" → becomes Authorization: Bearer your-token
• Or pre-formatted: "Bearer your-token" → sent as-is

Testing

You can test the endpoint directly:

curl "http://demo.example.com/apidocs/api/usage/offeringusagereport/summaryreport?fromDate=03-11-2025%2000:00&toDate=20-11-2025%2000:00&domainUuid=4ca-d-823&zoneUuid=e5b0-50b-ff-8e2-f2817&type=json&lang=en"
